Ty’Kara Lamona Madden, 21, a Titusville, Florida resident, was fatally wounded after an attack on June 2, 2022. According to reports, Madden was assaulted by 22-year-old Alteric Johnson, a man she was in a relationship with. Police say Johnson attacked her with a machete, partially severing her hand, chased her on Willow Street while holding a rifle, and shot her in the back of the head as she tried to flee to a neighbor’s home. Madden was taken to hospital and died a few days later.

Surveillance video is reported to show Madden begging for her life and trying to hide behind a vehicle. Johnson was apprehended at the scene and initially charged with attempted murder; after Madden’s death the charge was upgraded to premeditated first-degree murder. He was held at the Brevard County Jail without bond. The community has been shaken by the brutality of the attack.
